Paris is a city everyone should visit at least once. Seeing firsthand the Eiffel Tower, eating French croissants for breakfast and window shopping at Champs-Elysee \u2013 all these things will give you goose bumps as you are living in a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should always plan in advance in order to have a good trip to Paris. For suggestions on things to do and to see in the French capital check out my 3-day Paris itinerary<\/a>. Besides that you also need to know how to get the best out of your trip. So here are my top 10 tips for an amazing trip to Paris:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

#1. Get a Paris metro map<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As much as I love walking and I think it is the best way to experience a city, the metro in Paris will save you a lot of time and effort. That\u2019s because most of the affordable hotels in Paris are far from the main attractions and you will have to move a lot in order to see everything from your bucket list. Get a Paris metro map before your arrival and get to know the metro stops near your hotel and the main sights you will visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2. Get a carnet for the metro<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Carnet is a package of 10 tickets you can use in the Paris metro. Buying them will save you some money as their price is 13,70\u20ac and the regular price of the single ticket is 1,70\u20ac<\/span><\/p>\n

#2. Plan ahead – get a city map<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Getting familiar with the city is going to help you a lot when you arrive. Before I visited Paris I already knew my way around. That way I didn\u2019t waste time to wonder where to go next, what\u2019s the building on the left and if I will have enough time to go to the next sight. So get your Paris city map<\/a> and spend some time checking where things are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning ahead also includes thinking of how to get from your arriving airport in Paris to the city center. There are many convenient ways, i.e. getting a taxi or booking a trip with a shuttle bus company in Paris<\/a>. Just make sure to check in advance so you are prepared according to your budget and time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#3. Free things to do<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are travelling to Paris on a budget you can save a lot of money on some of the most iconic places. Knowledge is power, and in our case this is completely true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the attractions in Paris are free for all such as the Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame or Luxembourg Gardens. Also, nobody can stop you from having a nice picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower which is one in a lifetime experience as well. There are also many free walking tours in Paris you can join and save money.<\/span><\/p>\n
